“Creativity is our bridge to peace, inclusion, and unity…right here in Kansas City.”
the challenge we face:
Across Kansas City, invisible lines divide neighborhoods, cultures, and generations.
Gun violence continues to rise. Misunderstanding fuels fear.
And too often, the arts, our most powerful tool for empathy, are out of reach for the very voices that need to be heard.
Every year that passes without connection deepens the divide.
But when people create together, they remember what they share.
The Problem: Division, inequality, and disconnection continue to isolate our communities.
Our Solution: Empowering Kansas City through the universal language of art.
why now?
The need for unity has never been more urgent.
Our city is rich with creativity but divided by inequality.
By using art as a common language, we can replace fear with understanding
That’s why FACEKC exists, to meet division head-on through film, music, and art that heal.

With film, art, and music, FACEKC works to reduce gun violence and raise social awareness.
